Donbas militants have more tanks, artillery than German army - Poroshenko

The Russian-backed militants in the eastern region of Donbass have more tanks and artillery units than German Bundeswehr, the Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko claims in his latest article for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, Ukraine Today reports.

Bloodshed in Donbass will go on as the Russian leader wishes it to be so, the Ukrainian president constitutes.

"Despite this evidence, the Kremlin feels free to deny its involvement in the war, the way it had happened in Crimea before. Such a huge military potential would be impossible without Russia. It came to my country without an invitation and aiming nothing but to intimidate and kill.

That's why we need both of them, as well as sanctions until sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine are reestablished. Keep Russia at negotiations table and don't let more human losses happen", Poroshenko writes.
